Our holistic approach

The majority of people who visit a physiotherapist with an osteopathic approach have pain in their back, neck or joints (shoulders, knees, ankles, etc.). The pain can be caused either by an accident, a fall, a surgery scar or any type of repetitive movements. Sometimes they even appear for no apparent reason.

Here are some conditions that are regularly encountered in clinics:

Tendonitis and bursitis

Numbness

Headaches and migraine

Arthrosis

Fibromyalgia

Fatigue and stress

Sports injuries

Sinusitis, allergy and asthma

Digestion problem: constipation, diarrhea, bloating, reflux, etc.

Menstrual pain

Menopause symptoms

Conditions related to pregnancy

Conditions in infants and children (colic, torticollis, ear infections, etc.).

The main goal is to treat manifesting tissue restrictions in the spine, pelvis, organs and nervous system. After a session, the treated area will feel better but most likely a global sense of well-being will be experienced. For instance, it can result in sleep and energy improvements.

In the last few years, concussion has been the health subject that has drawn a lot of attention. Sports such as hockey and football have been particularly singled out, especially the NFL which has been accused of not being as transparent as it could have been with the long-term negative effects of concussions and how the injuries are treated by the teams.

The craniosacral system follows a rhythm, and the skull bones accommodate its pulse. Just as a cardiologist seeks to improve the cardiovascular system, a craniosacral practitioner evaluates and optimizes the pulse of the craniosacral rhythm.

Spinal Manipulation is the application of controlled force to a joint, moving it beyond the normal range of motion in an effort to aid in restoring health. Manipulation may be performed as a part of other therapies or whole medical systems, including osteopathy, massage, and naturopathy.

The word holistic is often used in discussing a person’s health or treatment, but many people are still uncertain exactly what it means. The word holistic comes from the Greek word holos, meaning “entire” or “all.” Rather than some weird definition, holistic treatment simply means treating the entire person.

There really is a sixth sense: it’s called proprioception. It is the sense of position and movement. It is produced by nerves in our connective tissues (ligaments, bone, fascia) and our 300-or-so muscles. Without proprioception, you couldn’t stand up.
